Posting tweets

The twitter module exposes a simple class, you need to have secrets.ts populated before you can build that module. An example file has been provided, just fill those values and do not commit them. The usage is simple:

const twitter = new Twitter();
twitter.tweet(`msg`);

This module can be separately used to post tweets using Google Apps Scripts.
